During this time, people used natural resources located nearby to fulfill their needs. For example,
Monsieur Pont, a member of the town council before the war, used a small, artisanal sand
quarry in the “Bois Garenne” between the hill and the plateau. He extracted sand
for rabbits. One can still see traces of his quarry. (Daniel Goupil)
